Hitachi Powerhouse CV2550

Hitachi Vacs

Heres a small display from one of the Agri Electrics shops (1984)...I loved the CV50D and the StowaWays where very popular, never liked the flimseyness of the later uprights, you will see a few Hoover Re-Cons in that picture which given the area sold very well!!

Very picture of the electrical shop there. Those two Hitachi cleaners on the bottom right are the ones I was speaking about, though I did not see the round one in the two-tone cream and brown, only in black. The one next tp it, though hard to make out, is the larger rectangular bagless cleaner. What I am not sure about is now much more an advantage it was over the round model, or vice versa, as both were bagless and had automatic cord winders.

Hello guys and a BIG thank you to Jake for creating this thread for me.

I will start a thread about my Hitachi Powerhouse tonight or tomorrow, but until then, I'll say I did buy the Hitachi and it is wonderful.

The information provided on this thread has been invaluable!

A full explanation of my departure will be provided later on.

I'm glad to be back.
